rsync - Sep 2007 - error in IPC Code (code 14) at main.c(669) [receiver=2.6.9cvs]

Hi,

I am using rsync 2.6.9 and recently I got a error with the setup. I
searched in the forums but I couldn't find much clues on this. Once I
restarted the rsync daemon and rerunning the job didn't gave any errors
further. I also tried to reproduce the issue for much details. But I
couldn't do that even after hours. 

 

The rsync log says 

 

opening tcp connection to 172.21.3.148 port 874

opening connection using --server --sender -vvulgtprxz --timeout=38400
--safe-links . job_27825 

receiving file list ... 

23 files to consider

rsync: pipe failed in do_recv: Too many open files (24)

rsync error: error in IPC code (code 14) at main.c(669)
[receiver=2.6.9cvs]  

 

 

If anybody has already faced similar kind error let me know what was the
issue and how this has been suppressed.

 

Regards,

Suresh

This is the error that caused the failure.  Your system had too many
open files on it for some reason, causing the pipe() system call to
fail.

..wayne..

Hi,
I got the issue solved after doing some analysis..

I am not closing a file handle in one case and the same process is invoking
rsync command.. In the long run the process is running out of file
descriptors and causing the failure..
